Holder Takes the Gloves Off and Calls Americans “Cowards”

Eric Holder, America’s new Attorney General, may prove to be the worst political pick since Caligula designated his horse, Incitatus, a Roman senator. The chief difference is that Caligula’s horse had far more class.

Disgraced Governor Rod Blagojevich’s choice to fill Barack Obama’s Illinois senate seat, Roland Burris, merits consideration as the supreme loser as well. Seems ol’ Roland had such contempt for the United States Senate that he thought nothing of perjuring himself to secure it.

Then, again, having contempt for the American people, as Eric Holder does, has to take precedence over contempt for the Senate so Holder should still get the prize and Burris should be designated as runner-up.

Speaking to a Justice Department group observing Black History Month, the new AG said, “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards:” http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96E53483&show_article=1.

Confirmed 75-21 by an obsequious United States Senate, Holder went on to say that, “the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.”

If my take is correct, the new AG feels that government dictates concerning whom companies employ is woefully inadequate. Holder is suggesting that people should be invited to golf outings, family bbq’s, christenings, and graduations simply because they are people, regardless of whether we would appreciate their presence.

Now isn’t that just special! Barely two weeks in office,…

Well, I can’t say I agree with this sentiment…

David S has never been right on anything.

(I love you, too, Oscar.)

Find out how this economy works then lecture us.

Are you really sure you want a lecture on how the economy works? It might be painful to your preconceptions…

Peace.

Do a few things – make a few decisions – exercise some superior judgment – adhere to a stronger, cleaner, more life-serving morality – and do this while being a net gain to the daily needs of humanity for food and water and shelter and power – and you might get some reaction other than “yeah, if your video game ever breaks, maybe you WILL turn out to have abilities and characteristics that we can admire.

But aside from making loud noises about what you’re owed, or about what you would rather we did to serve your desires, your ilk hasn’t been all that impressive. Aren’t you the guys still trying to force us to stop arguing with your “consensus” of concerned marketers?

You’ve made a very indicative statement. But if you think you’re going into the future with it, you’re wrong. It belongs in the past – about 100 years into the past.

That’s exactly what the starry-eyed romantics were saying, singing, and writing poems about in 1917 after the Russian Revolution. Later in their lives, their idealistic grand visions that were not based on the reality of human nature, brought them either to alcoholism, or to the gulag, or to the positions of gulag supervisors. Case in point – Vladimir Mayakovsky, one of my favorite poets, who unfortunately fell in love with communism and wrote hymns to it. By 1930 he opened his eyes to reality and shot himself (although the rumor still lives that he was murdered by Stalin’s henchmen because he showed signs of disillusionment).

At that time, American romantic, starry-eyed revolutionaries visited that “dream come true” land – and wrote articles titled “I have seen the future and it works!” But they only saw what matched their fantasies and discarded the rest.

They thought they were cleverly defying the “conservative old fogies” at home – but in fact they were whitewashing a tyranny, legitimizing theft, insulting the suffering of millions of people, and dancing on the graves of the gulag victims.

The link between good intentions and hell has already been scientifically established. Do you need an official General Surgeon’s warning on it so you can stop being so reckless?
